Submission : Sarah Childslayer

Name: Sarah Childslayer
Cardtype: Vampire
Clan: Abomination
Group: 6
Capacity: 7
Discipline: ani aus cel for pot pro
Independant : During any Methuselah's untap phase, Sarah gains 1 blood. When she announces an action, any other Methuselah can discard a master card as an out-of-turn master to cause the action to fail. Once each combat resulting from a block, she may burn 2 blood to get +2 strength for the remainder of combat. Scarce. Sterile.

Flavor text: None.

Art notes: A mad-looking woman with "bearish" looks.

World of Darkness reference: WTA: Gurahl (book), p. 70

How does this card address a compelling game need?: Ok, we know that they're focussing on Blood Brothers, Garygoyles, Harbingers, Samedi, and Salubri antitribu. But still, having a grp 6 Abomination could be nice. What do you think ok this one ? I like the first ability which feels very "gurahl" to me, but it's also very strong. Is the "Chas-like" effect enough to balance it ? Shall we giver her -1 bleed to ?

Is it supposed to work both ways, when she blocks and when she is blocked?

Indeed.
In the WoD, Gurahl are protectors. But since her Embrace, Sarah became mad. So I guess now she really doesn't want to be disturb by any means.




Also, after few re-reading, I realised that the cardtext contains a lot more than 150 letters. Is that really a problem ?

I would say this is a broken vamp. Al you need is 8 miniontaps and she doesn't need to do anything. Extreme poolgain.
She is also a super mega good anarch in a bad kind of way. Guardian Vigil, Dustup, Divirsion and so on...

Hm, you're probably right ! I might nerf her first ability so it triggers only during your untap phase. By doing so, we might remove the Chas effect and replace it with a simple (and shorter) : "-1 bleed".

Why is that bad ?

I think making gain blood only during your untap is much better and balanced.

About the anarch thing. If you put Dabbler on this girl, she will trigger it with one card. I think if you removed/changed aus or fort it wouldn't be a problem but the combination is really good, a bit to good for a 7 cap. Other vamps that do have aus,fort,cel, often lack of other combat skills. So they need guns to be effective and that costs resources.

Maybe she's not to good, I just don't like to see more Guardian vigil with dabbler super wall decks.
